About Us
TransWakefield is a source of information and guidance for health professionals, care workers, employers and anyone interested in transgender issues.
We have up-to-date information on NHS treatments and other available options. We can provide practical help with clothes, make-up and learning to live in a new gender role, whether full or part time.
Our face-to-face meetings are held at a safe, discreet location in Wakefield.

We do a variety of activities as a group — we attend Pride together, workshops and presentations, and there's even a quiz at the bar!
There is also plenty of time for one-to-one sessions with Christene, who will help and guide you through any issues you may be facing.

Meet Our Chairperson
Christene started to transition at the age of 58 and joined TransWakefield as a member in order to find resources and advice about the process. She learned a lot about the "journey" of transitioning but not as much about practical things like how to dress and use makeup.
She gained skills and became more comfortable with herself as her journey progressed. She worked with the previous chairperson and helped to run meetings and support sessions, eventually taking over as chairperson herself.
She wanted to create a safe and friendly environment where transgender people could socialise with the public and learn how to navigate the wider world.
As a result of her efforts, TransWakefield has become a thriving and valuable resource for the transgender community.
